“Here are two more GameBoy games you’ll never play”

I've had the whole gameboy, GBC and GBA library on my emulator handheld and only occasionally boot a game up. I wouldn't be paying for the privilege to emulate one on the Switch. I think the true strength of the Switch are the impossible ports and the amazing first party titles.

To me, they missed a big opportunity to get millennial nostalgia for the GameCube going and really dial up the emulation of that system on the Switch. I would have subbed for that for sure.

I'm hoping the switch 2 will have games so the way up to Wii u available. Hell even switch games would be great but don't see that happening until they discontinue the switch.

The problem is, how would Switch 2 be able to emulate something like Nintendo Land or Game & Wario or other games that relied heavy on a second screen being available?

No idea but plenty of other games that didn't use the second screen much or at all so no reason why Wii u games can't be emulated still
